Discussion Anyone else who just isn’t really materialistic?

[Amor Fati]

Most of my comforts and enjoyments in life have been derived from the internet.

I have more attachment to the virtual rather than the physical.

Things I enjoy are considered incredibly modest or ascetic by most people. Thinking of selling everything and being homeless. Or just giving everything away

I always never understood for example the obsession around cars or sports a lot of dudes have…. I suspect its due to their susceptibility to social pressures this being one characteristic of their greater biology.

I have also fully started to realise I have no solid attachment to really anything, for instance I never get the urge to storytell about some past occurrences to others or value anything really fanatically.

Yeah, it'd be nice if I were wealthy—I wouldn't have to worry about trying to survive day to day. But I'd be fine with subsisting on the bare necessities anyway, even if I were rich.

Rich people buy material luxuries like sports cars, paintings, rare clothing and buildings because they are assets that typically appreciate in value, hence giving more money, status, wealth and dominance. Aside from that I have no desire to accumulate these things and I would much rather have rich and meaningful experiences, but the point of money I think is assurance and protection. Material goods were only ever a way to satisfy urges by proxy.

Living a frugal, minimalist lifestyle sounds appealing and liberating on the precondition that basic needs are stable and met. On that note I think a lot about post-scarcity Utopianism and the potential for a decentralized, money-less system where people are completely equal and free to do whatever they wish with AI serving as a guardian angel figure - a partner and a mentor - ensuring things go smoothly. I think this would be a beautiful way to transition into a post-scarcity world, as a spiritual voyage guided by a machine partner that grows with you. This would be a satisfying minimalist lifestyle and one of the only good endings to the current declining system, I think. Imagine living a nomadic lifestyle and having an odyssey to foreign countries in search of new concepts, texts and experiences to develop with your AI, with every person alive functioning as an artist, philosopher and collector in a new minimalist Renaissance.
